    Wax & Cleaner Recommendations

    Zymol for Explorer Finish We started using Zymol products when we bought our first BMW many years back and have really had good results using it on the Explorer. It isn't cheap, but we live in the Phoenix area and it is important to protect your car's finish from the occasional...

    HID head light

    The Retrofit Source for HID Headlights We have a new 2013 Ex Sport and I have been working to get HID's in it almost since we bought it. I read a LOT of stuff online and finally decided to buy our stuff from The Retrofit Source - http://www.theretrofitsource.com/ There was no...

    My 2012 Ford Explorer Limited with Shark Fin Antenna

    The VG Sharkfin Antenna Works Great ! Well, we’ve had our Explorer Sport now for about a month and have not had any major issues to speak of other than a few MFT quirks. I installed the VG Sharkfin antenna the second week we had the truck and it has exceeded my expectations in nearly every way...

    2013 Explorer Sport Ordered

    Hi Everyone. I just wanted to send a quick post and let you know that we received our '13 EX Sport! Kudos to Crystal and Cory for keeping us updated while we waited. :thumbsup: I've been driving it for 3 days now and I have to say my favorite feature is the SYNC. I can change the radio...

    About to buy a 2013 Sport Explorer and these forums scare me!

    I wish I could tell you more about the quality of our 2013 Explorer Sport but it won't be here for another week. I can tell you this is the 8th Ford vehicle I've owned and I have always been very happy with the quality and dependability of the Ford products. All of my vehicles have been...

    My 2012 Ford Explorer Limited with Shark Fin Antenna

    Thanks you for your response, this is very valuable. I've just never been too keen on fractal antennas, I guess. I'm kinda old fashioned that way. I realize they can be very effective if designed and applied properly, and they have multiband properties that many other antenna designs...

    My 2012 Ford Explorer Limited with Shark Fin Antenna

    No, Rick, she's not much into it. It was really a hobby when I was a little younger, mostly 2M and 440 for comms when we spent most of our free time up in the high country, long before we had a cell. We used the autopatch now and then and really liked the security of having the radios and...

    Ford Extended Service Plans (ESP)

    I agree Peter. And that peace of mind is worth double when it's on my wife's car. I like the thought of her not having to worry about how much an otherwise covered repair would cost, and the rental when her truck is down for some reason. I don't think I'd pay much more than they are listing...

    Ford Extended Service Plans (ESP)

    We usually buy the warranty and I have had more times that we didn't use it and I regretted it than times I have used it. (Ford and BMW) In fact, the warranty is just about to expire on my '08 F350 and I had a problem with a component related to the turbo cooler. Sure seems like a warranty...

    Holy Jesus, just picked up my Sport

    I really thought the pecan interior looked nice,but the wife wanted no part of it. We haven't been married much more than a decade, but you learn some things just aren't worth defending and the pecan seats rate near the top. I really wanted the cruise, too but it was hard to imagine using...

    Looking to buy

    This is very similar to the market here in Phoenix. Looks like a good deal to me. The Sports are pretty rare around here. Scott

    My 2013 Ford Explorer Limited

    Very Nice Ride It looks very nice. Better than mine....mainly because it's not built yet. Very nice. I really think the snow helps it for me. Maybe an Arizona thing. Hope fully in another month or so I can post some pictures of our new Ex Sport with snow under it. May not be easy...

    2013 Sport on order...woohooo!!!!

    Bye Bye Bimmer Congrats rellyrooly!! Welcome to the forum. We ordered our Tuxedo Black Sport three weeks ago today, similarly equipped, and are anxiously awaiting delivery. We are also trading in the bimmer with sad hesitation. It has been a good car for the most part. We'll trade a...

    2013 Explorer Sport Ordered

    That's awesome. Sometimes it just comes together like that! Very cool. There are so few Sports out here in Phoenix that it is tough to even test drive one much less find one that has what you want in it. There was a nice one my wife finally got to test drive but it didn't have 402a in it...

    2013 Explorer Sport ordered!

    Zeibart is the only reason our 1970 Mach1 Mustang is here today after many Cleveland Ohio winters. I don't know that I would do it to a new car, but, I live in Phoenix, Arizona. Snow is always 100 miles away. Not much snow on the way to work. Scott

    Holy Jesus, just picked up my Sport

    She IS my adaptive cruise I really wanted the adaptive cruise, but again, this is my wife's car and she NEVER, I mean, NEVER uses cruise control. I rarely use cruise in my superduty, and even in her car when we're on road trips. At 6'2" I pretty much only use cruise in her little cars...

    Holy Jesus, just picked up my Sport

    Thanks for your reply, Peter. I know it seems confusing why we skipped the moonroof but ordered the black. This is the wife's car and she wanted black. I really liked the white tricoat, but she was adamant that the black was the right color. Since she has three engineering science degrees...

    My 2012 Ford Explorer Limited with Shark Fin Antenna

    Most high quality car covers provide a two piece grommet style device that you attach to the hole you make for your particular antenna to stick through. My concern in that my wife is somewhat 'vertically challenged' and putting the cover over the antenna will definately be the worst part of...

    My 2012 Ford Explorer Limited with Shark Fin Antenna

    How Well Does the VG Sharkfin REALLY work? Okay, this thread is about a year old now and I am scouring this forum for information about how well this Sharkfin antenna really works. Everyone seems really happy with the way it looks and I have to admit the pictures look fantastic, thank you...

    2013 Explorer Sport Ordered

    We closed the deal with Berge Ford on January 7th in the early evening. I expect they placced the order on January 8th. The last thing they said to us was, "Okay, see you in six weeks." I asked him to call us when the vehicle ships to give us a little heads up. But waiting is always the hard...

    Holy Jesus, just picked up my Sport

    Yep, that's the reaction I'm expecting in a few weeks. Let's see some pics! We ordered a Tuxedo black, too. Nothin fancy, just 402A and towing package. Charcoal on black interior, no moonroof (not in Arizona), no adaptive cruise. Those two alone saved us $3K. Trading an '09 BMW Z4...

    What's better than a Ford Explorer?

    Thats great TGUNN. That thought has crossed my mind while we have been waiting for the Explorer Sport for my wife. We just use our F350 for so many things and I can't see keeping both of them. But I really like this new Explorer, especially the Sport. My F350 was in the shop for a few days...

    2013 Explorer Sport Ordered

    Almost halfway to our Sport We heard from Cory yesterday that our Sport is right on schedule with an eta of Feb 18. This is exactly 6 weeks, as the dealer said when we ordered it. Maybe it helps that this is the fifth truck we've bought from them over the years. Two Broncos and two F350 Crew...
